My Story

 I chose cigarettes as a topic to allow the world to see what I see. One fact you should know about me is that I do not smoke! Nor do I insist that you do. In my family, I watched my grandfather destroy his life due to smoking, and I have researched my topic online and had gotten many interesting facts, but when it comes to getting the truth about the puff stick I asked him. He has told so many stories about how his grandfather has live to be 70 smoking 4 packs a day. When I heard this, I was shocked because I was informed as a young boy that cigarettes were labeled as a “Death Stick”. Even though my grandfather was aware of the harmful threats cigarettes could have on his body, he still inhaled the potent fumes. I guess the real reason for choosing this topic is to see whether or not it’s the nicotine or himself making this brazen action to test life?

  1. I like how you chose a topic that you could relate to, and not something that you didn’t care about. I also like how you talked about your grandpa and how you feel about him smoking. One question that I have is how old was your grandpa when he started smoking?

  2. At first I did not see the connection between you and you topic, but as I read your Story Behind the Topic I began to understand. You have a strong connection to your topic, and it is shown when you talk about it. The connection you have to your topic helps your blog because the emotion and interest is there.
